Just wait for the money shot at the end. I tried really hard not to be turned on by this, but I kina’ blew it. Pun intended.

Erick Scarecrow’s 8″ haind-painted resin Nite Time Papa Sama Wood Hermit figure was was release at Japan’s Wonderfest and the leftovers are going up for sale this Friday, 2/26/10 at 11am over at the ESC-Toy Shop for $100. This colorway is limited to just 25 pieces worldwide and is by far the best Papa Sama color scheme yet.
Now, if Mr. Scarecrow would only do more bigger production pieces and release them in, oh… idunno, America!!! Japan has enough cool stuff! They don’t need all the first dibs on all your awesome toys as well!
You may remember a while back when I posted some cosplay pics of Kirsten Dunst walking around in Akihabara. Well, it was for this video called “Akihabara Majokko Princess” for the “Pop Life: Art in a Material World” art exhibit in London’s Tate Modern museum. The song being used in the video is a cover of “Turning Japanese” by The Vapors and, yes, that’s really Dunst singing. Obligatory pantsu shot around the 1:20 mark. Thanks to Craigery Montoya for the heads-up!
Not sure what “jerry beans” taking each others’ pantsu off with their teeth has to do with cell phones, but it’s pretty hilarious. Mostly because they’re singing “jerry beans”. Oh, Japan. The only awesome thing we have that you don’t is the letter “L”.

JAL just held and unveiling ceremony for their new Boeing 777-300 covered in characters from the Doraemon anime. Check out the news footage from the ceremony, complete with some poor sap bouncing around in a big scary Doraemon costume.

Looks like Totoro will be making an appearance in the latest Toy Story flick. Not sure how much screen time he’ll get, but I’m sure fans will appreciate even the smallest opportunity to see the big fuzzy furball rendered in sexy Pixar CG. Kind of odd that Pixar would throw in a character who’s widely unknown to American audiences, but I’m not complaining one bit. [Via Japanator]
If your big nerd ass needs a geeky place to plop itself, look no further than the Mega Man E-Tank cushion. Actually, this thing’s just under 12″, so maybe it’d be more appropriate as a nerdy elbow rest. E-Capcom is currently taking pre-orders for this sexy piece of gaming decor for only ¥2,625 ($29.46) and it’ll be shipped on March 31. The bad news is, this is only available in Japan. Fffffuuuuuuuuuuu.. Here’s hoping they release these outside of Japan. My sofa is naked without it. [Via Tiny Cartridge]
You might remember the news from last October that Medicom Toy would be releasing these sweet Mega Man and Proto Man Kubricks this February. Each figure also comes with a clear Be@rbrick, but as of now, the figures will only be available in Japan. Unless you let Capcom know how badly you want ‘em. If you want these figures to be released outside of Japan, go here and let Capcom know by leaving a comment.
Because who in their right mind wouldn’t want to dry themselves off with a pair of moisture-absorbing mamaries. Also “drying yourself off” is my new euphemism for fapping. Now pardon me while I go dry myself off. [Via TOKYOMANGO]
Someone drew Pokémon from the old Red/Blue and Gold/Silver games as if they were demons from old Japanese scrolls. Come to think of it, a Pokémon game set in feudal Japan would be pretty sweet. Check the rest after the jump. Continue reading “250 Pokémon as Ancient Mythological Japanese Demons” →
I’m not sure how this happened, but I’m assuming a group of corporate heads at Sanrio stormed into a government building, armed to the teeth with guns all Matrix style and fat sacks of cash all Scrooge McDuck style. Over 500 shops in Tokyo’s historic Asakusa district will be accepting hello Kitty coins fashioned after old obsolete coins. This is obviously a marketing ploy meant to stimulate the district’s economy, but it’s kind of scare knowing that Sanrio somehow got over 500 shop owners to accept a freaking Hello kitty currency. World domination to follow. [Via Topless Robot]
BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger by Arc System Works was easily one of the best fighting games to come out in 2009 and the series is finally making it’s debut on a Nintendo system. BlazBlue Battle X Battle will be available as a DSiWare download for 500 pts. in Japan some time in January. Unlike Calamity Trigger, Battle X Battle features ultra-cute big-headed versions of the BlazBlue characters, a simplified control scheme, and free-roaming battles (think Power Stone, Bushido Blade, Ehrgiz) that support up to 4 players. You can check out a video here around the 37 minute mark. Why can’t more amazing DSiWare announcements come along. I’m sick of calculators. [Via GoNintendo]
There’s a step-by-step explanation (in Japanese) of how this was built, along with plenty of pics, here. [Via Sci-Fi Wasabi]
Okay, I know I said I wasn’t posting anything for the rest of the day, but unlike the rest of you uncaring turdbuckets, fplus actually sent me something pretty awesome via Twitter and I just couldn’t not share this with you all ASAP. He sent over a link to this awesome live action Street Fighter Alpha II thing of weirdness and joy. Way better than that Jean-Claude Van Damme garbage, right?
Back in the 90’s, screenshots for a Zelda-ish Game Boy title developed by Epic/Sony called Hyouryuu Shounen Keith (Castaway Boy Keith) began popping up in various Japanese video game magazines. Unfortunately, the game never saw the light of day. I wonder if there’s any ROMs floating around out there…
The crazy part is, as much as Castaway Boy Keith looks like Link’s Awakening, these screens were released 3 years before Link’s Awakening even came out.
